A Rare Nottingham Bear
Salt Glazed
Circa 1740

As depicted, a scarcely encountered early example with flat incised arms; remarkably, the chain links are original. Salt-Glaze bears were made by potters exercising freedom of imagination and whimsy...the stance, decoration, and finish of each example uniquely displays the very best of the early 18th century Staffordshire potters art. Our example acts like a Posset Pot in that the small dogs head is connected to the bear with a spout from the bottom so that it could be drunk from while holding it upright and then passing it on by holding the bears arms-letting the next person have a drink and so on and so forth until it was empty. The head of the little dog is restored, all else fine.
(Height: 9-inches.)
